Can Christians Seek Mediums?

Should Christians Go To Mediums To Talk To Passed Loved Ones ?

NO!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen several post on Face Book from people I think are Christians ,yet post stuff about Mediums.

Here is one of the latest:Ten Signs That Deceased Loved Ones Give To Let Us Know They Are Around

So I read the article or as least as much as I could stand .Do people really fall for this ? Apparently so. Some will say “If it gives them comfort whats the problem?” If your a Christian ( That is a Bible believing Christian ) Then you are placing your comfort or peace with something that is ungodly. Demonic in nature.

Lucifer or Satan isn't some grotesque being as the movies present him Lucifer:

(light‐bearer) found in Isaiah 14:12 coupled with the epithet "son of the morning," clearly signifies a "bright star," and probably what we call the morning star. 

His demons are also fallen angles so their appearance is also a thing of beauty .

2Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

By their appearance they can fool you .

OT Statement:Abominable Practices

9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, wyou shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone xwho burns his son or his daughter as an offering,5 anyone who practices divination or ztells fortunes or interprets omens, or aa sorcerer 11 or a charmer or ba medium or a necromancer or cone who inquires of the dead, 12 dfor whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And ebecause of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.

Leviticus 19:31 f“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.

So Why were these practices not allowed? Very simple these practices were not of God nor did they direct them to God ? Your rest /peace comes from God , not those who practice wacamo religion.

Can the dead talk with the living? **

It’s in the Bible, Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, NKJV. “For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun.”

If people die with unfinished business to care for, do they become ghosts and haunt the places and people they knew in life? It’s in the Bible, Psalm 146:4, ESV. "When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.”

What does the Bible say about communicating with "familiar spirits", or ghosts? It’s in the Bible, Isaiah 8:19, NASB. “And when they say to you, ‘Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter.’ Should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?” vs. 20, KJV. “To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

What does the Bible say about those who communicate with familiar spirits? It's in the Bible, Leviticus 19:31, NKJV. "Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God."

You can see as a Christian trying to contact the dead is an abomination unto God. It defiles you as a Christian and also may I say as a non-christian . You are placing your peace and comfort into that which is not of God but of Satan and his demons they come as light ,in reality they are darkness. Leading you into putting your trust in them for peace instead of the one who can geive real peace.

Matt 11:29Come to me, (Christ) all who labor (burdens)and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Instead of seeking things out side of God seek Christ and he will give you rest(peace)

Heb 3:16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

This is speaking of the Hebrews who sinned against God in the wilderness . They seek after other gods .They did not enter into Gods rest .The promised land.

Are you really willing to take the chance of not entering into Gods rest (peace) by going to those who attempt to contact the dead?

I could keep going putting verse after verse ,but I just add one more thing . We are as Christians are being made into the image of Christ (Col 3:10) and we are ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20) As a representative of Christ we are to not seek out the dead for they are just that DEAD !!

The Bible is clear when you die and you are a Christian (real Christian) you go home to the Lord ,non Christians go to Hell or better said Hades ,the abode of the dead ,the waiting place a place of torment,awaiting the final judgment the second death .

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. (Hell)This is the second death, the lake of fire. 

So when you die your spirit doesn't wander around the planet haunting or trying to comfort you . So take heart my friends and refrain from seeking out the dead ,your opening a door for the demonic to use you for other than Gods purpose.

May you have the joy and peace and comfort that only comes from God.
